The Grace Message

How do we know the narrow gate refers to grace? Did the Crusades have anything to do with authentic Christianity? Why is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit an unforgivable sin? Did I commit it? God asked me to be obedient as a teenager, yet I repeatedly failed Him. Could it be that I’m not really saved anymore because of my broken promises?

What are your thoughts on preterism? Does God guarantee increase in our income if we give to the gospel? What is “the power working within us” in Ephesians 3? Should we just go out and sin so that grace shines more brightly?

Who falls away in 1 Timothy 4:1? What is required to be saved? Is the “hypergrace” accusation a valid critique? Could you really commit sin every day and still be saved?

Is it sinful to try to get rich? Why did Paul quote the Law in Ephesians 6 if we are not under the Law? You seem to leave out a few important things about the Law!

What happens if we go on sinning? What is Paul really trying to say in Romans 10 about “ascending“ and “descending”? I have a hard time praying and can’t stay focused. I feel distant from God. Can you help me?

People talk about a ‘new year, new you,’ and how to be a different, better version of yourself. But what if you don’t need a new you? That’s the truth about you! In my New Year’s message, “New Year, Same You!” I unpack ten reasons you can celebrate the newness you’ve already received through God’s grace. You’ll hear liberating truths about new ways to think and serve, the new commandment on your heart, and your newfound freedom from the burdensome weight of legalistic rule-keeping. Scripture is brimming with encouragement that affirms you’re already new because of Jesus Christ. So, check out this message and discover the inspiration you need to start the year living from a place of freedom and joy – based on who you already are! Discussion Questions for “New Year, Same You!”: 1. Why is it so important to know you have a new heart? 2. What is the new commandment? How is having it different from “Law keeping”? 3. In your view, what does the “new wine” represent? Why? 4. How have you experienced the “new way to think”? Give an example. 5. Which means the most to you right now – your forgiveness or your freedom? Why? 6. How does the “new way to serve” differ from legalistic pressure or obligation?

Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going? What is the true and biblical view of predestination?

What is the free grace movement? What is “hypergrace”? Are the “kingdom of God” and “kingdom of Heaven” different or the same? Why do you seem so anti-Calvinist? What are your thoughts on “soul ties”?

How can I share Christ with my Muslim friend? He questions whether Jesus really claimed to be God. Are the Spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit different? I’m looking for a Bible-believing church in my area. How can I find fellowship? Does fasting change our posture or widen our pipeline to God? Also, does it make healing more likely or does it help get our prayers answered?

Thank you for sharing the grace message! Many Bible teachers say we can gain or lose rewards in Heaven through what we do. How did you come to believe we all get the same in Heaven? My brother passed away, and now I wonder where he is. Did he go straight to Heaven? Or does he have to wait to see God?
